Today me and my friend decided to meet up over a cup of coffee, we planned to meet at forum coffee day, this friend is one of those rarest kinds of friends which is hard to comeby. I say rare for three reasons.
As usual we were supposed to meet at 6.00PM and i was there by 5.45PM, i get a call from him stating that he will be delayed by 10 mins, so i take a stroll to landmark to check out paperbacks. I didn't notice Opal Mehta book by Kaavya, mebbe they took it off shelf. what i noticed were these: THINGS THAT I AND MY GIRLFRIEND ARGUED ABOUT -- By god's name why should i know wot surmised between horny couple? The book starts with "Where's my car keys?" how the hell i benefit literally by knowing where's his car keys are? The book is 150+ pages. The publisher should have answered one question "should i publish this book and lose money or should i just search for his car keys?" He would have got his answer almost instantaneously. There wasn't a dustbin in the vicinity to chuck this book. Landmark employees are smart. Next one. "The Martha Stewart Rules". Here i'm confused, Rules as in Rules and Procedures to follow? or Is she goading that she still rules even after time spent at Alderson Correction facility? Here in the book she says she followed the productive american dream and asks us to follow her be a part of that productive american dream. Sorry Martha, I ain't your follower as i do not wish to spend time in jail and become a gigolo at the penitentiary to earn pocket money. Next were some interesting books by Wharton Publishing and one on investment tactics by Aswath Damaodaran, Aswath one of the top 12 management professors in USA -- teaches at Stern and Wharton is my top school to get admitted, so i'm baised here (Note to Aswath: Stern is my top 2 school). Couldn't buy these books as i was stricken for cash and my manager is already planning a retirement for me--i gotta save for rainy unemployed days. The Next book was called "100 brushes before bed" On the cover there was this sexy, cleavage showing girl brushing her hair. This is what i want, a raunchy sex book to while away my time. The writer's note goes something like this "Sex may be bad or good, but if you ask me if i do it again, heck i'll do it" This is like a personal diary being published and made public for mass reading. Yes something like Dairy of Anne Frank, only the reasons were different, this one was about producing illegit lives the Anne frank one was about being alive and struggling for life. This book is the story of a 14 yr old which i'll sum up in two words; Virgin Mary >> Bloody Mary. (These refer to cocktail names, no religious reference pls.) There is an author by surname Coontz, tell me isn't that what we refer to rowdy senior girls harassing innocent first year boys at a co-ed? Ah i got the long awaited call from KK, Off to free coffee at coffee day. So long. Literar(y)ily Dumb a.k.a JuiceMeUp. |
